Snowmobilers find several sets of large tracks on the Gun Flint Trail (w/photos)

3 March 2007 mid afternoon Grand Marais, Cook County, Minnesota 3 witnesses

Account

The witness was snowmobiling with two companions in the Boundary Waters area when they found large human-like footprints in snow crossing lakes. They photographed the tracks over three days in March 2007 and reported measurements of about 16 inches long with a roughly six-foot stride. No figure was seen, only the tracks and an apparent light in one distant photo.
